The Snoop

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Ronald Himler. While she and her grandmother (Bon) visit friends on a farm, Ellen fights her habit of snooping through other people's things. Long on description and short on context, the book doesn't distinguish between snooping and natural childhood curiosity until close to the end of the story, an ambiguity which might confuse some readers. Bon's constant shaming seems out of proportion to Ellen's actions. Expressive drawings extend the text.
